I used to have this misconception that “since I’ve got oily skintype, I shouldn’t use cleansing oils – why do I need the extra oil?” Alas, I couldn’t be more wrong. After all, it’s not as though the oil actually stays on the skin (or worse, absorbed in). Thankfully, the young and silly days are … Continue reading
Ever since I ran out of makeup remover wipes and my memory fails me once too often (when I remember to buy, I’m not near a Watsons. When I am physically near a Watsons, I forget that I’ve got something to buy – ballocks to me right?!), I’ve had to resort to digging into my … Continue reading
I’ve always shied away from using cleansing oils – yes, like everyone else, I also have this common misconception that since my skin already was oily, there really wasn’t a need to “add on extra oil” by using a cleansing oil. But hey, why not try it out with one of the best known and … Continue reading
The weather’s been insanely harsh lately, and it’s sort of taken my skin to a place that’s actually worse than its previous condition. Previously, it was just plain old oily combi. These days, I’ve got oily-dry combi (dafug?!). The area around the lips are drier than ever, and the oil producing glands are working overtime … Continue reading
Phew~! The mega 15 Days of Christmas Love is finally over! I spent the weekend scrolling through thousands of entries (yes there were that many!) and then doing the unglam method of writing down all the names onto tiny bits of paper and then drawing them from a box. After that, I still had to … Continue reading
Earlier this week, I went for a facial, and to my horror , realised that my skin could be clogged due to an inadequate cleansing regime. Being my typical OCD manic self, I of course went on a complete rehaul of my cleansing regime and started digging out all my cleansing products ð Crabtree … Continue reading
Now that I’ve suddenly on a whim decided I can be the next Van Gogh of the nail art world, I’m investing a lot of time and effort into home manicures – you know, practice makes perfect (and plus I can’t quite sit still when I’m watching my dramas / movies – I must multi-task!). … Continue reading
You guys should know my pal, local celeb makeup artist Larry Yeo right? Well, he’s actually a biochemist (bio chemical engineer? something technical and super intelligent) by training, so he does analyse the ingredients of beauty products before using them. During one of our dinners last year (this particular one was at Skinny Pizza), he … Continue reading
I’ve never truly appreciated the beauty of a true makeup remover until I started this beauty blog and doing beauty reviews – I have to set aside a day just to specially take photographs of all the products, and test/swatch each and everyone of them, one after another. This is when I also conveniently test … Continue reading
Recently, I’ve gone into a makeup remover frenzy – I’ve suddenly become very obsessed over purging every single molecule of dirt from my skin. Besides whipping out my Philips VisaPure to use (yes yes, review coming up soon). So far, I’ve only been using my Biore Makeup Remover wipes but nowadays, I find myself venturing … Continue reading
I have a really warped concept – that since I already have so much oil on my face, I shouldn’t have to need to use a cleansing oil. But like birdshit from the sky, a realisation landed splat on me one day – using cleansing oil could actually slow down my aging process, since it … Continue reading
I’ve fallen into dire straits again… It’s the time of the month when every damn thing runs out, ie money, shampoo, conditioner and every other essential thing I need to remain ridiculously gorgeous. sigh. Even my usual makeup remover sheets have run out – I’m usually on the Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Sheets. Thankfully, I’ve … Continue reading
Everyday, the moment I step into my house, I have a certain routine I must go through :Â 1) wash my feet and 2) wash and cleanse my face. Yes yes I can be really pedantic. Yet my dad somehow has this strangest 6th sense – no matter what time of the day I come … Continue reading
I sometimes feel like Harry Potter with a cave full of gold – I’ve got more than $400 worth of credit with Browhaus, but I haven’t been doing my eyelash extensions (which are about $120 per session). Although they make me look so fabulously doll-like and enlarge my eyes to almost Ayumi Hamasaki I-look-like-I-drank-a-lot-of-sake standards, … Continue reading
Andddd I’m back with a huge bunch of nicely-taken photographs (I hope!) and back on track with my blog reviews. This is one item I’ve been wanting to blog about for the longest time but just kept forgetting to. Not much of bristles / comb – just a spirally stick for you to run along … Continue reading
The weather in Singapore has been absolutely horrible for the last 1-2 weeks. First it would pour cats and dogs, and then in the next hour, it would be scorchingly blindingly hot. If fats could melt in that heat, I’d be one of the Olsen twins by now. Of course, that was only my wishful … Continue reading
